Is the Swift Escape 696 a practical family motorhome?
The Swift Escape 696 is a dedicated six-berth motorhome built on a Fiat Ducato chassis, specifically designed for large families. It features a 3500kg MTPLM, meaning it can typically be driven on a standard Category B licence, and offers a versatile layout including rear bunks and an over-cab bed.
- Six berths and six dedicated travel seats with three-point belts.
- Rear bunk beds with a lower bunk that stows to create garage space.
- Large over-cab double bed designed for high headroom.
- SMART construction system utilizing a PURe timberless frame.
- Truma Combi heating and Swift Command remote monitoring system.
Worth knowing: The side washroom can feel restricted when the vehicle is occupied by six people. The over-cab profile increases wind resistance compared to low-profile alternatives.
Buying a Swift Escape 696
Who it suits
- • Large families requiring six belted travel seats and six berths.
- • Drivers limited to a 3500kg MTPLM who need maximum sleeping capacity.
- • Users who require flexible storage for bulky outdoor gear via the rear garage.
Reasons to consider it
- • It offers a rare combination of six berths and six travel seats under 7m in length.
- • The 535kg payload is generous for a vehicle in this weight class.
- • The timberless SMART construction provides enhanced durability against the elements.
What to check
- • Confirm the specific MTPLM on the weight plate to ensure it matches your licence.
- • Test the operation of the Swift Command system and Truma Combi heating.
- • Inspect the condition of the rear bunk stowage mechanism and garage area.
- • Verify the service history of the Fiat Ducato base vehicle.
Worth knowing: Fuel economy may be lower than low-profile models due to the over-cab design. Payload is 535kg, which must be managed carefully when travelling with six occupants.
Compare the Swift Escape 696 with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Swift Escape 696 | 6 | 3500 kg | 6.92 m | £38,000 to £62,000 |
| Swift Voyager | 6 | 3500 kg | 6.90 m | £45,000 to £90,000 |
| Elddis Majestic | 6 | 3500 kg | 7.41 m | £38,000 to £85,000 |
The Swift Escape 696 occupies a specific niche by providing six berths and six travel seats within a 6.92m length and a 3500kg MTPLM. While the Elddis Majestic offers more length at 7.41m and the Adria Matrix provides a different European build style, the Escape 696 remains a popular choice for its functional rear bunk and over-cab layout. The Swift Edge serves as a longer alternative within the same brand, whereas the Escape 696 focuses on a more compact footprint for its capacity.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Swift Escape 696 Ownership Tips
- Utilise the flip-up lower bunk to secure bicycles or large equipment during transit.
- Monitor the 80-litre Dometic fridge performance when pitched in warmer climates.
- Use the Swift Command app to track battery levels and heating remotely.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Exceeding the 3500kg limit by over-loading the garage when six people are on board.
- • Miscalculating clearance heights due to the 2.94m over-cab roofline.
Worth knowing: Always verify the MTPLM before purchase as optional extras can reduce the 535kg payload.
Alternatives to the Swift Escape 696
The Voyager offers a similar six-berth capacity and 3500kg MTPLM but within a slightly shorter 6.9m length.
Elddis MajesticFor those requiring more interior space, the Majestic provides six berths on a longer 7.41m chassis while remaining at the 3500kg weight limit.
